My wife just returned home very excited. While standing in a brightly
lit parking lot, she just saw 4 meteors in the space of 2 or 3
minutes. It's unclear from her discription if thes could be Tau
Herculids, but the velocity of two of them and their approximate
track (I wasn't there and her description was not very precise) could
be consistent with Tau Herculids.
I'll try to head out to see if something might still be happening happening.
